Welcome to Gentoo all 3 of you, and all other newbs. Your Linux life just got a lot easier: you'll never ever have to reinstall again, unless you get a hard-disk failure ;-) and all your software will be configured in the same way as the "upstream" authors wrote it to, so you can always get support from their channels.

Welcome and enjoy _________________"Dear Enemy: may the Lord hate you and all your kind, may you be turned orange in hue, and may your head fall off at an awkward moment."
"Linux is like a wigwam - no windows, no gates, apache inside..."

I don't know what made me laugh harder. The usual Airplane taunts that I knew were coming, or the steveL sales pitch in the middle of the intros.

Do you feel insecure and dazed when you watch all the "gcc -O9 blah blah" running fast and furious across your screen? Does the prospect of not understanding what is compiling and how it is compiling seem too daunting? Welcome to quietemerge! It is the perfect way to gaze at the emerge output. Old packages get a countdown timer, and new packages don't get any - isn't it the perfect way to figure out which packages have just been pulled in by a new dependency on javascript?!

Enjoy your stay in the forums, and stay the hell away from OTW, at least initially. And also avoid the gladiator._________________emerge --quiet redefined | E17 vids: I, II | Now using e from git | e18, e19, and kde4 sucks :-/

Never take advice from ppurka. See that impressive post count? In his case, those aren't posts helping other people; those are all the problems ppurka has had over the years. Not a week goes by without ppurka experiencing some kind of major crisis with his system, so he's the last person you want to take advice from.
